This could potentially apply to me as I have a SG3100 that'd now EOL with no direct replacement, I was thinking of getting a non netgate appliance but restoring my PFSense plus to that new device, this now means I'd be forced to get a subscription to TaC to use Plus on a non netgate device? Wording isn't very clear to me.
If you backup your config now, you'd be able to apply the config to CE 2.7.x.
While this would limit you to an x86 type device, you wouldn't be out of options.
I am an owner of an SG-3100 as well (we don't use it anymore), but that device was what soured me on Netgate after using pfSense on a DIY router at our office for years…
I continued to use pfSense because of the sunk costs involved (time, experience, knowledge). This is likely the turning point.

Until now my SG3100 experience hasn't been bad at all. I've been using it since like 2018 and don't have much to complain about thankfully.
